TUE, NOV 06, 2018 08:13 CET

Double Bond Pharmaceutical has submitted an application to EMA for scientific advice, known as Protocol Assistance, for SI-053. The assistance will be given during a pre-submission meeting, where DBP is able to get advice on issues and plans that exist for SI-053 before the more formal procedure starts. The assistance is free of charge since the product has orphan drug status, and is expected to be completed in March 2019. Double Bond Pharmaceuticals goal is to then start the clinical trial with SI-053 as soon as possible.

“The possibility to consult the agency to discuss the development of SI-053 and to get advice on the protocol for the Phase I study before the clinical application is submitted is valuable to us. -commented Igor Lokot CEO for DBP. “With the application to EMA, we have achieved an important interim target for the commercialization of our front line product SI-053 for the treatment of brain tumors.”
